In recent years, Uttarakhand has emerged as one of
the most attractive industrial destinations in India. The government is
encouraging private participation in all industrial activities and as a
result big players such as HLL and Dabur have set up units in the
state. The New Industrial Policy announced in 2003 by the state
government puts in place the regulatory framework for Uttarakhand's
industrialisation. The New Industrial Policy indicates that private
resources may be tapped while promoting integrated Industrial Estates in
Uttarakhand.

State Uttarakhand is a land of scenic beauty,
temples, lakes, mountains, glaciers and green lush meadows. Therefore
the main industry of this state is tourism industry and it had almost
80% of U.P.'s tourism centres in it before it became a separate state.
But the tourism industry of Uttarakhand is legging behind in the lack of
good infrastructure and facilities. The govt. has also not given proper
attention to this sector. We hope the state Govt. will take appropriate
action to boost this sector and one day Uttarakhand will become a major
tourist destination in all over India. Although some other revenue
earning sectors of state Uttarakhand are:

Industrial sector

Agricultural Sector

Tourism Industry

Sugar Mills

Cloth Mills

Paper Mills

Flour and Rice Mills

Pharmaceuticals

Mentha Oil Units

Stone Rolling Mills

Dairy Products

Production Of Rice And Wheat

All Hospitality Related Business

Uttarakhand State has come into being at a time
when its extraordinally well-placed to benefit from the new information
economy as it is able to play by the rules of the new era and is
responsive to the demands of the global services economy, which when it
seeks the best locations for itself looks for several factors. if a
clean and pollution-free environment is going to serve as a competitive
advantage it stands to reason that the new state will do everything it
can to promote it. this might include a programme to encourage cleaner,
environment-friendly transportation systems and efforts at large scale
afforestation.
